A look at what drove Marissa to choose Ramses
Love Is Blind Season 7
Marissa's connections in the pods
In the Love Is Blind Season 7 pod, Marissa connected with two males. Due to their shared interests, she immediately chose Bohdan, 36. The IT salesperson and Marissa developed a shared passion for reading. Additionally, their common background in military service provided another point of connection.
However, Marissa noted that her dating history included numerous relationships with military men, a pattern she had been trying to break.
The 35-year-old Ramses presented a different personality compared to Bohdan. During their conversations, Ramses openly shared information about his past, including the fact that he had been previously married.
As Marissa navigated her connections with both men, key factors emerged that influenced her final decision. Ramses demonstrated a willingness to engage in frank discussions about physical intimacy. His approach to these conversations left a significant impression on Marissa. She then disclosed that she felt safe and at ease with Ramses' handling of this subject, qualities she valued in a possible mate in Love Is Blind Season 7.
In an interview with Reality Tea, Marissa stated,
“The physical intimacy conversation Ramses and I had was really the defining moment that made me realize that this is the person I want to be with. The way he spoke about it and the questions he asked me made me feel very safe, and that was important to me.”
In contrast, Bohdan's approach to certain topics, particularly those related to physical intimacy, became a point of consideration. He expressed reluctance to discuss these matters on camera, which Marissa interpreted as a potential barrier to open communication.
Discussing about Bohdan, Marissa stated,
“With Bohdan, he didn’t really want to talk about that stuff on camera. I want the person in this experiment with me to really be in it and ignore that. I wanted to be in a bubble, and I felt like Bohdan burst our bubble a bit. Because of that, it was really hard for me to kind of get back in there with him.”
Recent developments
Marissa and Ramses’ first face-to-face meeting after the pod phase proved positive, expressing satisfaction with their physical attraction. This initial encounter set a promising tone for their relationship moving forward.
Reports from the Cabo trip suggested a positive physical connection between them. The couple openly discussed their satisfying intimate life in conversations with other contestants. This openness about their physical relationship indicated comfort and compatibility that extended beyond their initial emotional bond formed in the pods.
Despite the initial positive reports, recent information suggests that Marissa and Ramses have encountered challenges in their relationship. Specifically, issues related to their intimate life have come to light, contrasting with their earlier expressions of satisfaction.
Marissa's choice of Ramses over Bohdan was influenced by communication styles, openness, and the feeling of security she experienced in their interactions. However, the recent emergence of intimacy-related challenges has added complexity to their Love Is Blind Season 7 story.
